    The closest used bookstore to my knowledge, has always been in Corpus;, and as much as we love…read moregoing to Corpus, nothing beats, going to The Novel Blend bookstore situated in the Heart of downtown Kingsville. I try to visit as often as possible but I definitely visit 3 to 4 times a month. They have best sellers as well as cookbooks, biographies, autobiographies, self help books, historical books, almanacs, not to mention countless other miscellaneous items. Any genre you can think of, they most likely have it, and if they don't, I'm certain they will find a way to get it.I cannot stress how affordable all these books are. I'm a David Baldacci fan and I don't mind paying full price for his books, but if I can find one with zero imperfections to the jacket or the spine or anything on the pages and it's five dollars for a new release you better believe I'm going to take my business to the Novel Blend bookstore. It also doesn't hurt that it's less than a quarter of a mile away from my house and it also helps even more than their prices, and their inventory is probably the most important of all of the charm this much needed and much adored, bookstore, holds, and that is the people who own and run this fine establishment. They have brought to Kingsville what we did not have, and I am so grateful for that, so thank you. Mr.& Mrs. DiFranchesca

    This is a hidden gem in Kingsville! The owners were very welcoming and kind! (if you're lucky you…read morecan see their cat). This cute little bookstore sells a wide variety of books, vinyls, and knick knacks. There is free wifi and seating inside for student to use and study. They have a small menu with coffee and snacks. This bookstore has so much to offer! Definitely pass by and check out what cool things they have inside.

    Once again Fernanda put together a smooth running event. I do love this event…read more I shop here regularly. So, the opportunity to come & show them more love is okay by me. Their volunteers are always so helpful & knowledgeable. Its why I come back. Well, & the books. I came this time wanting cookbooks. I hadn't ever looked at their selection before. I collect vintage cookbooks, (yes, I use them too. ), I was happy to see the selection they had. I'll be back to look. Definitely adding this area to my focus. Right around the corner from the cookbooks are the vintage books. Well, they had this wonderful little Dick Tracy book. I knew it was coming home with me. Then, when I went to psy they were going to give me the Dick Tracy one. I told them no, I wanted to pay for it, it gives them the money. Isn't that the point!?

    The Book Cellar is such a hidden gem! Tucked away in the basement of the Central Library, it feels…read morecozy and welcoming as soon as you step inside. The selection is really impressive, especially if you're into Texas history, local authors, antique books, or those special finds you don't usually come across at bigger bookstores - and at a great price. and I could've easily spent way more time browsing - it's well organized and fun to explore without feeling overwhelming. The staff truly made the visit even better. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely happy to help or just chat, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.

    Huge selection of books and nicely organized. It was clean and quiet, which is perfect for…read morebrowsing. The lady at the reception greeted me cordially, as I entered. The prices were a bit high in my estimation. I miss the Cheever Books of old, with more accessibly priced books. But it did have many first editions and collectors books, which is big plus. I would recommend it as a stop for anyone who loves reading and books.

    Wonderful selection of quality used books in great shape. A really nice mix of popular and eclectic…read moreand niche titles. The books are all in really great shape, many with covers or in sleeves. This is a store to people who are looking to add to their own collection, as opposed to looking for a cheap stack of books that they will then get rid of (no judgment, both practices have their place). Some negative reviews have claimed poor customer treatment, but my experience was the opposite. I bought a really nice autographed copy of "Baa Baa Blacksheep" and also a memoir by Eisenhower's speechwriter (see "eclectic and niche" above). This copy had no price written in it and had a goodwill sticker on it. I asked the lady at the counter how much the book was, and she looked it over and expressed her horror that the old sticker had not been removed. So she gave me the book at no charge and we had a great conversation about a unique picture of JFK's motorcade in San Antonio on the wall. Just a really nice experience.

    Pink Zeppelin Books & Records is a solid spot to come in to do some browsing and even come across…read moresome local artisan goods too like jewelry, stickers, small decor, and even t-shirts. We came in after noticing the spot while having coffee around the corner. Outside the shop, before walking in, there are several bargain books displayed that help with a visual cue of where you should be heading to. Organization of all records was pretty decent. Everything is spaced out and no overcrowding of records to be found here. You can browse easily without having any issues. I ended up finding a great early Rihanna LP and my partner found a pretty awesome and good quality of an REM LP here too. We were very happy with our finds and the condition the vinyl was when we brought it home to play. Of course you can find bargain records here but their curated records that are priced $5 and up will be pretty good quality in terms of cover and record quality. I think I remember seeing nice juices, beers, and even some energy drinks here that are offered in a cold case? I also saw plenty of magazines and niche zines here that I regret not taking a chance on. You will find something unique and very interesting here even outside of records. I really loved the book area/nook as there are plenty of genres to choose from. I will definitely come back through to browse their selection in the future. I am unsure if they still have bands play outside or in but I would be down to catch some tunes too.

    This bookstore/record shop/ clothing store feels just like home. The customer service is on par…read morewith the value of their selection throughout the store. I'm ecstatic to go back with a drink from Gold coffee shop next door as I look for my next great read. Thank you and keep on keeping on. P.S: get yourself a bookmark from Imelda B.
